Will this class count toward my LSM certification?<\/strong> Yes! This class counts just like any other advanced Lay Servant Ministries course. That means if you take the Basic course in Lay Servant Ministries and this course, you will have everything you need to be a certified lay servant. Already certified? This class can count as the course you need to renew your certification, whether you are a certified lay servant, certified lay speaker, or certified lay minister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What other courses are you offering?<\/strong> Our spring quarter classes (March-May) are well underway, with several upcoming courses still accepting registrations. To see the full lineup of LSM courses offered on Zoom and throughout the conference, please visit our Upcoming Courses<\/a> page.
